I’m looking to upskill but I want to make sure I’m investing in the right certification. Some people say AWS and Google Cloud certs are game-changers, but I also hear people say they barely made a difference. If you’ve taken a cert that actually boosted your salary, which one was it?

Mba boosted salary. The certifications are nice to haves but don't make a huge impact on salary unless you have practical and real life experience within that specific tech stack.

Certs can teach you things, but rarely enhance your resume.
